Murray Dean and Louella Dorsey, long time prominent Corvallis residents and the third generation to operate Dorsey Bus Co., passed away within seven months of each other, both at the age of 92.

Dorsey Bus Co. was founded in 1909 by Murray's grandfather, who passed along the business to Murray's father who, in turn, passed it along to Murray. After 76 years, the company was sold.
There was hardly a kid growing up in Corvallis who didn't either ride a Dorsey school bus or charter bus for sports events, ski trips or other special occasions.
After retiring, Murray and Lou enjoyed traveling around the world, skiing and boating.
Murray and Lou are survived by their daughter; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren. Murray and Lou were preceded in death by their daughter Dianne and their son Michael.
